College tests in mathematics

The COMPASS entrance exam

Entering students are required to take an examination in
Mathematics to assist in initial placement in mathematics courses.

The test given is ACT's COMPASS exam. This exam is "computer-adaptive." This
means that during the exam the next question asked depends on how well you have
performed on the previous questions. This is intended to shorten the testing
period by only asking just enough questions for the computer to evaluate your
skills. It is extremely important to carefully answer the beginning questions as
best you can. If you get these beginning questions wrong through carelessness
the computer may not allow you to show your skills on the more advanced
questions, thereby affecting your placement and proficiency determination.
